The Gilpatriyak in its Natural Habitat!

Gilpatriyak
–noun

a miniature, stocky, shaggy-haired wild ox, Bos grunniens gilpatriatus, of the Denisonian highlands, having long, curved horns: endangered (because there can only be, at most, ten at a time). Primary food-source--left-over cookies, crackers, cheese, the occasional cake, fruit, or fruit juice from Gilpatrick House Honors events.

Here's a wide shot of the terrain.

Gilpatriyaks live in constant danger of being trapped in coffee mugs.

Fording couches is a constant challenge

But naps are a favorite pastime.

Yaks have all the luck.
